Space: 1970 - Year Two

Space: 1970 is one year old today. When I started this blog 12 months ago, I didn't expect to post to it very often, and I certainly didn't expect that it would attract many readers. I was just looking for a place to indulge in some childhood nostalgia.

But it didn't take long for me to realize that I had something kinda special here. Not only was I enjoying myself revisiting the movies, TV shows and related memorabilia that obsessed me in my youth, but other folks seemed to be enjoying reading my reminiscences, too - and enjoying the opportunity to share their own. I have a bunch of blogs - and write professionally - but within three months or so, Space:1970 had attracted the largest measurable readership of any of my online ramblings... and it continues to do so.

Some months I was able to write more posts than others, and sometimes I've felt a bit pressured to post something - anything - so as not to disappoint you folks, but overall, I've found writing this blog to be extremely rewarding.

So, anyway - thus begins our Second Season. Here's hoping that, unlike some of the shows I write about here, Year Two is as strong - or stronger - than Year One. I can promise only that I will continue to update this blog as long as I can find inspiration in those fantastic television series, films, magazines and books that fueled my imagination thirty+ years ago... which should be for a good long while yet.

Thanks for tagging along.
